"I had a big affinity for Damian when I drew Batman issue #666," Kubert told the New York Post.

"I really liked that Batman and always wanted to revisit him. Damian is a bit different than the 'Bruce Wayne' Batman. Grant Morrison tweaked his character in a way that made it very endearing for me to draw. And to write.

"Basically, what I'm doing is exploring the path that Damian has taken to become Batman. I think readers will see him in a different light than before."
